Baby decided to come early.

So woke up with what I thought was trapped wind. It got increasingly worse by about 11am so started to Google answers. (I was 33 weeks). Most said it's quite common but you'd know if it was contractions. I rubbed my belly to ease it then felt something fall out of me which turned out to be large golf ball sized clot looking thing with a lot of watery blood! Called an ambulance a d lost a bit more blood whilst waiting.

Long story short it was the start of early labour. By 12.30pm I was 3cm dilated. Was only allowed gas and air. At 5.44pm I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! He is quite large for a 7 weeks premium baby weighing in at 4 pounds 11. Which is reassuring. He is breathing on his own and minting a good temp. I can't touch him yet and am having to stay in hospital but the nurses say he's strong and aren't worried:)
